Description LZMA is an abbreviation of Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm. It is the default compression method of 7z file format in 7-zip program. The purpose of LZMA utils is to make the usage of LZMA compression easy on *NIX based systems like GNU/*/Linux and *BSD. The average compression ratio is usually 30% better than 'gzip --best' and 15% better than 'bzip2 --best'. Some files can be compressed even over 50% smaller than with gzip. With speed LZMA cannot compete with gzip in neither compression nor decompression. With bzip2 LZMA is in par when compressing with approximately same compression ratio but for smallest file size the time required can be 5 times the time used by bzip2. Luckily the same does not apply to decompression speed: even the tightest LZMA files can be decompressed in time less than a half of the time that bzip2 would take. This makes LZMA an ideal compression tool for distributing files in the Internet and on CDs/DVDs because the files are usually compressed only once but decompressed many times. |
